Islamic guidance for week 12

A dua and a reflection

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ

Rabbi hab li min ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah, innaka sami‘u‑du‘a.

My Lord, grant me from Yourself a pure offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.

Qur’an 3:38

The end of the first trimester is a blessed milestone — share the news with those who will make dua for you and your baby.
